The Death of Conversation – the TED talk!

Me and my mouth in Italy, my take on smartphone living, my TED talk

I was kindly invited out to a TEDx event in Bergamo in Italy to give a TED talk on the subject of my photograph series “the death of conversation”. It was featured in friday in this article in the Huffington post (click here to see) written about me on friday which has itself already gone viral. I kind of thought this might have died down by now but the subject of smartphones and their continued presence in our lives seems to be gaining momentum rather than subsiding as the backlash movement rises. Hopefully through discussion we can work out a way to have them and reap the positive rewards of these amazing techno gadgets without suffering the negative impact their use can cause to our relationships, our social skills and inhibit our ability to live in the moment.
